Yes I concur with Rich Dan, I donât know much about this sort of thing as in my time as a transport
manager I only ever bought new vehicles so how does this compare rebuilding something on this scale to buying something brand new and whatâs its life expectancy afterwards?
Would be a rare find in rigid form nowadays F86, Buzzer.
Trailer coming on nice Dan

I always thought Stevenâs were an all Scania fleet but obviously not Oily.

The ERF behind the F86, does it say âLanderâ on the cab ? Wondered if there was a tie in between Langdons and Lloyd Maunder.

Another great picture Eddie, Which of the 4 trailer sets of wheels are Steer axles â â ,

Aha not a Volvo today but who remembers these little gems, Buzzer.

Aha not a Volvo today but who remembers these little gems, Buzzer.
I remember how they used to chew up the sidewall of the tyre, particularly if they werenât adjusted right. Back in the early sixties, my dad used to ride six miles each way to work, all year round, and could easily get through a couple of tyres each winter. One year he had the idea of pinching a tyre off my toy tractor to fit over the splines on the dynamo and cut out slippage and wear at the same time. He didnât realise that it would effectively alter the gearing and give an even worse light than before. By 1966 I had âinheritedâ his bike, and thought that if only I could use the dynamo to charge a battery which would then provide power to keep the light on when riding slowly, or stopped at junctions, I could be on to a winner.Sadly, at thirteen and with just a half-crown a week pocket money to develop my idea, it wasnât to be.

Like this on a 1950 Raleigh fodenway.

I wonder what would have been cheaper-replacement tyres or replacement batteries for battery-powered lamps?
Youâve started something now Buzzer 
this is myself and next door neighbour(17 year olds 1952) on the way to work, 10 mile round trip, never missed a day at work, his Raleigh bike has the battery pack that fodenway mentions and was not all that brilliant, my bike a Humber Clipper with Miller Dynamo setup also a twin cell spot light oh and 4 speed Sturmey Archer gearing. it was not unusual in cuttings to get the bike on your shoulder and take to the fields for a bit, that road had been cleared on top of hard pack, one of the many deep potholes by my front wheel, no place for wimps.
